In the mid-80’s, after a few years as an assistant to great photographers he begins his career by working for fashion magazines in Italy.In 1988 together with other photographers, he founds MDA Studio, where he developed and expanded his vision and his work, ranging from beauty and fashion to still life. He worked with numerous publications and brands and developed together with the studio, which soon became a reference point in Milan.In the mid-90’s, he moved into the design world and began a long collaboration, creating images and campaigns for Italian brands known around the world.
